    What People Are Saying

    ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

    “The staff at Autumn Trails were quick, caring and thorough in the care that they delivered to our dog over the course of several days. They were able to fit us in quickly, gave us options and saw us back for follow up without hesitation. I'm confident that our dog wouldn't be with us or recovering…”

    Urgent Care Questions

    How is urgent care different from emergency care?
    +
    Urgent care handles serious but non-life-threatening conditions that need same-day attention—like vomiting, minor wounds, limping, or sudden illness. True emergencies (severe trauma, breathing difficulties, seizures) may need 24-hour emergency hospitals. If you're unsure, call us at (434) 971-9800 and we'll help determine the right level of care.
    Will I be charged an emergency fee?
    +
    No. Autumn Trails does not charge emergency fees or surcharges. You pay standard examination and treatment costs without the extra $100-$300+ fees that traditional emergency veterinary hospitals add to every visit.
    Can you see my pet today?
    +
    Yes, we accommodate same-day urgent care appointments from 8am-8pm, seven days a week. Call (434) 971-9800 to let us know you're coming so we can prepare for your arrival and minimize your wait time.
    What animals do you treat for urgent care?
    +
    We provide urgent care for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals. Our team has specialized experience with various species and will provide expert, gentle care for your pet.
    Do I need to be an existing client?
    +
    No, you don't need to be an existing client. We welcome new patients for urgent care situations and will provide the same high-quality care to all pets in need.
